Exiting the programming mode by
pressing and holding the Function

will store this adjustment for the selected input.
The BALANCE adjustment for each selected input is also stored when switching to
another input while still in the BALANCE programming mode.
RELATIVE Volume adjustment.
It is quite common to have sources with very different output levels connected to
a preamplifier. In this case, switching between different inputs is usually
accomplished by a large change in volume. The VK-53SE allows the user to avoid
this inconvenience by setting volume offsets between different inputs (using ANY
input as a reference).
To program this feature:
1. Select any input that you would like to use as a reference. Play music at
the level you find comfortable.
2. Press the Function button twice. The display will read: VOL 000
3. Switch to a different input. Adjust the volume while playing the music to
the level that is comparable to the reference input level. The display will
indicate the volume offset number. That number can be either positive or
negative, depending upon whether the new selected input is stronger or
weaker than the reference input.
4. Exit the programming mode by
pressing and holding the Function
button
or by switching to a different input.
Any input volume offset can be programmed at ANY time with respect to ANY
other input.
EXAMPLE:
The CD1 input is used as the reference. Let’s presume that the PH1 input (the
weaker source) is then programmed to play at 20 counts higher. Its volume
offset will then read 20.
The user can later select the PH1 input and using it as the reference, program the
AUX1 input to be 10 counts lower than the PH1 input. Effectively, the volume
offset from the CD1 input to the AUX1 will now become 10.
The user then can at any time verify his volume offset programming by switching
the unit in its VOLUME mode (by pressing the Function button twice) and then
selecting the inputs 3, 4 and 5. The volume offset numbers for these inputs
should then read 0, 10 and 20 respectfully. That means that the AUX1 source
will be played at 10 counts above the CD1 input and the PH1 input at 20 counts
above the CD1 input.
